I don't know what happened to Starax, but I can certainly say that his Wand was one of the coolest things I had ever seen, and it gave me real hope that Second Life was going to make it. His wand was something like $50USD (if I remember), and it was the gift everyone was dreaming of getting in SL one Holiday season. Who wouldn't want a magic wand that makes a 3D locomotive appear and drive through you and your friend if you happened to type "train".

Would you like to return to investing your time with virtual reality and virtual worlds again? What would you do differently?

u/PhilipRosedale replied

I'll be working on virtual worlds in one form or another until I die.

I'd like to see a physics/simulation model that creates some sort of low-level digital 'atoms' that are used to build everything, using a decentralized compute model.
